Wrong Question Review

Wrong Question (Bree-Ann Carver Suspense Blog Book 1)

By Edita A. Petrick

Wrong Question (Bree-Ann Carver Suspense Blog Book 1) by [Petrick, Edita A.]
A newly minted intern at the prestigious New York Times has great expectations...but murder wasn't one of them.

Bree-Ann Carver is sent to work in New York Times' makeshift satellite office, in Idaho. Her job as an intern is to write a blog about fictional murders--and get a million subscribers. But her very first subscriber criticizes her efforts and then aggressively moves to take over her blog via his unsolicited input into her work. She invites him to unsubscribe and finds that she has no control over this particular cyber-entity. He follows her to her private chat-room, he hacks her colleagues’ email accounts and he terrorizes her through her desktop and her laptop. She knows he wants her to use his murder scenarios, but these sound like real-case murders that the police closed as accidents. If she posts even one of such dangerous scenarios, she is exposing herself to not only the real killer's wrath, but the police who closed the case as accidental death. But each time she refuses, her cyber bully sends her a chilling one liner: There will be consequences.

MY REVIEW

Bree-Ann recently graduated from Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, and won a two year internship with the New York Times. Imagine her surprise when she is sent to a satellite office in what she calls nowhere land, Idaho. Her assignment is to write a weekly story about a fictitious murder. As soon as she posts her first story, she draws criticism from her one and only follower. She didn’t mind the criticism as much as the dark undertone it presented. Later she starts getting pictures and sounds, along with evil messages directly on her computer. Then her car is stolen and wrecked by whomever is taunting her. Now knowing how close the culprit is, it leaves her not knowing who to trust.


I had mixed feelings about this story. While the plot was interesting, I thought the characters were lacking. With all that was going on with Bree-Ann, it didn’t make sense that she would keep it a secret. Also, I didn’t think the true murders made sense even when the possibilities were deduced. As far as the writing style, it felt stinted, and didn’t flow smoothly. I did like the story and felt it had potential, just needed to be pulled together more.
